guilty of committing a wrong. The statute, promulgated in 1939, was called the Uniform Contribution Among Tortfeasors Act.

American Law Institute National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws

In 1935, the American Law Institute (ALI) partnered with the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law to
create an act that would complement the ALI's earlier Restatement of the Law of Property. At the time, the NCCUSL had already
begun work on a Uniform Property Act. Richard Powell served as the reporter on the project representing the ALI. The resulting
document, the Uniform Property Act, was adopted by the ALI in December 1958. The collection, 1936-1938, includes drafts, memoranda,
and related records created in the course of drafting the Uniform Property Act.
